started stripping off for a car park last week and found a few old setts so kept digging and kept finding them, all the rds over here used to be laid in them and when they modernised they dug them up and tipped them. seems the area for the car park was a tip in the late 70's. so the product of the little cobble mine, they cost about £1 each at the moment so a nice little find.

loaded up kubota onto the tractor

started prepping a drive way for asphalt

virgin broadband cable well burried in a deep straight trench lol, only 1" down, lucky i scanned before biting in.

great parking backing upto driveway, uk is a small country hehe but neighbours dont help

ripping out the old bitmac

but my back out on monday, lifting my lad(2.5yrs) into the tractor to have a play, so bad day bad to cast a track, quick 10 min fix but no fun on the back

and then

scary, went rd corner near yard with full trailer of old bit mac and "Bang" thought erm but odd. stopped and looked and bolts 4 of the 8 blts holding the rim to the centre had come off. would have been really bad had i lost the wheel

new bolts from dealer much better design, fibre lock nuts

started a rugby pitch in june, 12000m2 cut and fill +/- 2m moved about 20,000 tons by the time we had stripped the soil etc, drains laid ever 5 metres in 120m lengths, so now after attrocious weather its roughly levelled and waiting for it to dry out to power harrow, level with drag box and seed etc.

so the thing that killed by back on friday continues, factory made 6 inch concrete walls to take out of super strong concrete. they are silage clamp(pit) precast concrete panels,

time for the big girl k1250 12" blade cut off saw

proper seriously tough nasty concrete

the aftermath of the plumber sweating a joint and setting fire to a 1" layer of hidden polystrene insulation, smouldered for a few hours and at 10pm got a call saying builing was on fire.
2 fire engines etc but got lucky only minimal damage, plumbers hot works insurance taking a hit.

moved 2 shipping containers with big machines one at each end and stoned up infront

scraping off to start stoning up for 700m2 car park for the new kiddies soft play centre

stoning up,

not at depth yet but we got called back at 12pm on friday saying they need car park roughly levelled to be used today, dozer was on site but caked in mud so roughly threw 160 tons on 40mm-dust about and rolled it.

and that was the week that was......
